Stephen A. declares Cooper Kupp 'the BEST RECEIVER IN FOOTBALL' right now ❕🏈 | First Take 

Triple Crown AND Super Bowl MVP?? Hard to deny him.

Man put himself in the HOF with one season.

Cooper Kupp just had the literal best complete season in NFL history. For once, I actually agree with Stephen A. Smith.

Stephen A Smith is absolutely right. Cooper can hurt you everywhere, he can hurt you in the slot, the outside, blocking, route running and his hands are great too. He’s a complete WR and this is his year, he deserve to be called the best because he played liked the best.

Cooper kupp is the best receiver in the league right now without a doubt . His route running is unbelievable.

If mvp wasnt a qb award , cooper kupp would’ve completed the perfect season

Hard to deny, nobody could stop him when everyone knew he was getting the ball

Kupp’s worst game this year was 5 catches 64 yards 0 TD.. Devonta Adams had that stat line or worse 5 times this year. Kupp only had 2 games all year under 90 yards and he scored a TD in one of them.

Michael Irvin spazzing so funny 😂

Kupp is so cerebral as a receiver!! He reads coverages like no other receiver.

COOPER KUUUUUUUPPPPPP BEST SEASON BY A RECEIVER EVER AND IT CAME AT THE HANDS OF MY FAVE PLAYER

Never seen a clutch receiver like kupp and what he did this season and especially in the playoffs.

With all his production Cooper Kupp blocks for the run like a mule. He's the best, most impactful wide reciever in the game right now.

170 catches 2300+ yds 21 touchdowns. Those are crazy numbers Kupp put up this year.

When they keep doubting you, be undeniable

He won the triple crown, won OPOY, and SB MVP. Jerry Rice did that in an entire career but never in a single season. No other receivers in NFL History beside Rice and Kupp have those 3 accomplishments to their name. What more does Kupp have to do to prove that he’s by FAR the best receiver in the league? Add some melanin to his skin? Get some dreads? Man put some respek on his name!!

I can't disagree even if I'm getting a Deebo jersey. Coop made me money. I will never hate him for that. He's the only Ram I will never hate. Had Cinci won, I was thinking getting a championship hat. Didn't happen. Coop saved me money.

one of the greatest wr season of all time and for some reason it went so unnoticed during the season by the media.

He the real deal for sure

Overall he could be the best. It's tough to say there are plenty of great ones but Kupp had a monster season and has been very good for years. Depends on what you are looking for too.

It would have interesting to see what Kupp would have done in the playoffs and Super Bowl for the Rams if didn’t get injured that year, maybe Geoff would have actually have a TD in that Super Bowl.

Matthew Stafford="Mr. Comeback." Down 3 and it's no big deal with 6 minutes left. But, down 4, and needing a TD late in the 4th was a different story!!!!!!!!!! Matthew was coooool under pressure to deliver the ball perfectly every throw! Even had a great TD pass called back for off setting penalties, and had to do it again! Staff is now GOATED, and HALL OF FAMED!

Those are some crazy numbers he put up

Kupp for me is the best rn. DA is amazing but with the game on the line, im going Kupp. The dude just finds ways to get open and make the catches at the most pivotal points in the game and hes been doing that the whole playoffs.

As a rams fan this is just BEAUTIFUL

If you've been watching Kupp like I have since he's been in the league dude been doing this type of stuff he just didn't have the qb to get him the ball like Matt do & also we had Gurley so we ran the ball alot & he was on his way for a big year when he tore his acl the year we went to the SB

I love listening to Dan breakdown how a player runs or Acts or how a game goes or how a play goes. You can hear the knowledge that he has from his past as a quarterback. It's different nuances that commentators like this can pay attention to that commentators who have never played the game don't have that wealth of knowledge to come from.

Cooper Kupp giving white wide receivers hope

This kid has been good for awhile but really broke out this year, unstoppable. Good on him and his family

Cooper Kupp torched the 49ers defense, the same defense that kept Davante quiet

There is so many talented young receivers in the league right now. Fun to watch.

Kupp single-handedly changed the narrative on white boys not being elite receivers 🤟🏾

Copper Kupp what a player

This is one of the few times I totally agree with Steven A, he hit it out of the park!

Right now. Yes

"It's filthy". Dan is the man . Dan you're sik wit it my friend.

Everybody and their mama knew he was going to get the ball but they still couldn’t stop him. He is the best WR hands down. Davante Adams didn’t show when they needed him most. Kupp saw the same attention as Adams in the Super Bowl but still showed up biiiggg

Kupp is like Edelman in terms of short area quickness & precise timing over the middle- and he's almost as tough (nobody is tougher than Jules.). That's why Edelman is the closest comp in terms of always being open, even when the defenses know he's getting the ball. On top of that, Kupp can win deep & is one of the best in the league after the catch. If he has 5-6 yards of separation when he makes the catch, he has the field vision & breakaway speed to take it all the way EVERY TIME.

First take is getting more exciting

Dan looks mad hungover. Love to see it

Deserved 🔥

I do dig the Bengals gear. Black and orange. And I did like Chad Johnson. Mina Kimes was born in ochocinco. Detroit-Cincinnati-Chicago, the Lions, the Tigers, Da Bears, oh my! Won 1 SB between them. 🦁🐯🐻

Stevie a has me rolling....how does nobody doing it how nobody look like that Erving 🤣

I love dan lmaooo

Dan, my guy.. as a Detroit native, I NEED that shirt

I’m a Minnesotan & obviously a Vikings fan, but my whole family actually wanted the Rams to win solely because of Stafford! He deserved it after suffering years of playing in that soul sucking abyss they call Detroit!

It’s all that grit and high motor that kupp has man

Bro might have had the greatest season of any WR in history

Devonte Adams was watching the Super Bowl while Kupp was winning the Super Bowl being clutch down the stretch.

Uncle Steve at it again.

COOOOOP That's s bad man

TJ Watt says hi, but seriously the reason there seems to be less dominant defensive players atm is the rules make it easier for offenses to do well. ITs hard to compare two players from different generations

Hard to say anyone is better. Even more impressive when Odell went down and you they were going to him

By far..dude is the lord of hands

3:11 You gotta love Stephen A

Man just had the best wide receiver season ever. Coop is the Truth.

I agree. Kupp is the best.

I agree 1000% and I'm a Packers fan....well former Packers fan.

This season is definitely Kupp! It’s not a question.

Stephen A spittin lol

His hips and balance are the reason why. Ive never seen a player be able change directions like him in a route. .

Dan has gotten waaay better with his takes

Cooper kupp is best wr easy that's not a question his routes crazy and speed great triple crown Superbowl MVP like its not a question

Kupp is in a league all his own. He's the best, period!

In regards to that hall of famer comment, LT played in an Era of great defensive players Aaron Donald played in an era where great offensive linemen were required, not recommended

My how fast time flys and things change… he was the best for 1 season

The best THIS season.

The Switchup on Tae is crazy funny.

Yep, All In!

Just came here to inform everyone that about something I've been saying for years, this is addressed for all the Stafford sceptics. 1 week ago Stafford became the tied 6th best qb OF ALL TIME when it comes to game winning drives with 43 game wining drives. 1. Payton manning 54 2. Tom Brady 53 3. Drew brees 53 4. Big Ben 53 5. Dan Marino 47 6. STAFFORD 7. Brett Favre 43 8 Matt Ryan. 42 Against the Bengals he got his 44th Game winning drive and is 6th and he is only 33. He has had 3 game winning drives this post season ALONE. This is the REAL STAFFORD. He is CLUTCH, that's it... I've heard many critics about his inconsistencies and have unfairly overcriticized him about his play in a new system. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS, If Stafford ever gets freed from that cursed franchise that yields no good for anyone who enters the door, ITS OVER. Guess what? Superbowl in the first year on a new team. Heck he has produced 2 of the greatest qb-reciever connections of all time, MEGATRON and Kupp (1 and 2) . There is NO FINALS MVP KUPP without Stafford and THAT HAS TO BE RECOGNISED. What more is there to say? Stafford has been elite for 7 years straight and is a CERTIFIED HOF'er. Bye... Edit: I proud of AD and ODELL as well. Those messages have blessed the league for years and they deserved this chip.

Kupp has been great just had injurys!!! He the best

5:30 did people forget that blocking is a part of being a receiver

Hard to deny it. I will say though he plays a lot in the slot which gets him to line up against linebackers. Top 2 at the very least for Kupp tho

Everybody on here had great points, it was a combination of all those points. IAs for the comparison of A Donald and LT the anonymous hall of famer mentioned less dominant defenders. You could argue that’s because of talent of the on the offensive end, the modern schemes, and the game is more careful now with rules and officiating. That doesn’t diminish today’s game tho. But players today are more athletic overall and A Donald gives the impression that he would dominate any era. He’s consistently a problem for good offensive lineman singled or doubled. That being said both of their impacts on the game are huge and seem equal.

Kupp is a straight 🔥 BALLER. THAT'S IT

LT the real goat of defense 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Maybe there was some question about who the top WR in the league is. But once Kupp won the triple crown and the Super Bowl, it's was a wrap. In my opinion any player that leads the league in every statistical category at their position is the best football player in the league.

Yes. He is.

He been solid but this his first season being truly elite , now it may be because of the qb he had , but I need to see another really great season before I say yes definitive so imma go with Adams still but kupp up there for sure and will be if he keep doing this

Right now Cooper Kupp is best WR in the league. Guy just came off one the most amazing seasons I have seen from WR.

FACTS

Always funny to me when analyst have such a hard time admitting that guys like Kupp are physically talented. It's always, he's so smart, he has such good feet, he runs such nice routes. I've seen Kupp run past defenders left and right and most of the time he looks more physically talented than those around him.

Camera room needs to be fired 😂

He was pretty amazing on 2nd watch ngl I thought AD should have gotten the nod but I'm not so sure on second watch. Its close.

Dan trying immediate to figure out the hall of gamer and molly catching it was funny… I have Adams and Hopkins 1A and 1b but Kupp right there.

CK remains me of Jerry Rice knows he getting the ball but nobody can stop him !!

Cooper was looking like Travis 😂

Coop is the best WR hands down! Great point by Stephen A

Yes COPPER CLUTCH is the best WR in the NFL right now and possibility yrs to come !!!

Also, the sky is blue.

Stafford unlocked the full kupp

All we have to say out loud is that Cooper Kupp had Jerry Rice's CAREER Accomplishments in a SINGLE SEASON.... that is bananas. Receiver Triple Crown, Offensive Player of the Year, AND Super Bowl MVP in a single season. Rice was the only receiver to accomplish all that in a career and this man did it in one year. He's the best in the league right now.

Tide is changing for the receiver position . Back to guys who are great route runners and great hands. The NFL knows now that a guy could have 4.4 speed but 10.00 flat hands does no good for the team if you cant catch in the clutch.

I think that’s what people don’t understand everyone in the world knew the ball was going to cooper the defense pulled pushed him even illegal hit him and he still produced yes it’s great receivers who have done it or can do it but this guy was elite all season he set his bar high let’s see how he continue his career he’s a beast

Davante Adams lol

He reminds me of Jason Witten. Always open for no reason

What Jerry Rice accomplished Cooper Kupp did it all in a signle season

Cámara man was confused today huh 😂😂😂💁🏻

Debo Samuel does the same thing just needs a better offense , mettle can stay but 49ers needs a new offense

Those stats from Madden😂
